Christoph Gottlieb Pröber was a German Kantor and composer. He studied at the University of Leipzig from 1726 to 1731, and during that time he also studied privately with J.S. Bach. On Good Friday1729 a Passion setting by him was performed in the Neukirche in Leipzig, but his application for the vacant organist's post there was unsuccessful the following month. In 1731 he was appointed Kantor at Delitzsch, where he seems to have spent the rest of his days.
